How can I get organized to read and understand all these books? Here are 6 new rules added to the revised first four in version 1.23 of the Radical Reading Regimen.

On April 10 I published the next step in my developing self-improvement program, an application of Charlie Martin’s 13 Weeks method to my problem of better organizing my research. I looked forward to diving back into a deep reading routine filled with novels and culture while blogging my results here at PJ Lifestyle so all the wiser, more enlightened souls who make it their business to fill the comments section with their manifestos could tell me what an idiot I was for not seeing the world exactly the way they did.

One of the curious, but also most predictable, responses to the Boston Marathon bombings from the Left has been the fervent expression — amounting nearly to a prayer — that the perpetrator or perpetrators of this act of mass murder be “homegrown,” preferably white, male, Christian, and conservative.

Why? Why does the Left prefer to have its terrorism served up by Timothy McVeigh rather than Durka Durka Mohammed Jihad? It’s an interesting question. That the Left exhibits this prejudice is, like Falstaff’s dishonesty, “gross as a mountain, open, palpable.”

David Sirota, writing at Salon, gives almost comic expression to the genre in an essay with the really special title “Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American.” Why does Mr. Sirota wish that the Boston murderer of 8-year-old boys be a white American? Because a spectral quality called “white male privilege” operates insidiously behind the scenes. If Timmy McVeigh blows up a government building, says Mr. Sirota, only he is blamed. If Mohammed does it, Muslims are likely to be “collectively slandered and/or targeted with surveillance or profiling (or worse).”

What do you think of that argument? I think it’s hooey.

But how can intellectual and cultural warriors do battle with hooey level arguments? PJ Media Legal Editor J. Christian Adams offered advice to the Benghazi whistleblowers that is just as applicable to every American striving to fight for these issues in their own way:

I know a thing or two about being a whistleblower. I appeared on the Huckabee show this weekend (see video below) and explained how simply telling the truth is the way to shield yourself from the sinister deceptions from places like the Huffington Post and the George Soros-funded Media Matters. They can try to smear you, but the truth of your testimony will rise above their smears.

All we can do is present the truth about the nature of the enemy. If that doesn’t work, then what else is left?

Just reading the Koran on its own doesn't make much sense. One has to read the Hadiths along with it and some analysis and commentary. And also given that we're reading English translations we're missing a whole lot too.

Muslims in America should be reading this thing called The Constitution. Their 18 yr. old Dearborn Islamic Festival has been canceled til next year.

The reason is because some crazy Christians preachers got exactly the response they hoped for from equally crazy Muslims. Naturally, that only drew more promises that Christians would come even more, especially after the city had to apologize and pay Christians for looking the other way and even arresting Christians for having the stupidity to have themselves stoned by a crowd of crazy Muslims.

All these Muslims had to do was learn tolerance. Had they ignored these Christians, there'd have been no problem; the Christians would've got bored and left. Instead, Muslims acted like Dearborn was Iraq, told Americans to go home, and stoned them. Besides that, Muslims had their own security molest and physically intimidate anyone who talked about Christianity in even the friendliest way.

Now Dearborn's Muslims are predictably crying because they don't rule the roost and because they have to put up with Christians. LOL. Tough break boys. Welcome to the USA. Next time don't allow 200 people to be taped throwing a hail of projectiles I've never seen before in my life and put on youtube.

Swindle, if you are going to tar T. McVeigh for the horrible thing it did, we should also mention what led up to what he did. There were two other things that happened that had some influence of Mr. McVeigh. One was Ruby Ridge and the other had a profound effect on him and it was WACO. These were two incidents when the Clinton government murdered Americans in cold blood, specificallly the FBI. Ruby Ridge was a set up sting for illegal gun modifications and the other was for people practicing Their Freedom of Religion...

I suggest reading the Koran first to get an idea of Mohammed's thinking and the sort of person he was. Then you will understand the true nature of Islam and the orders Mohammed gave to his followers. Jihad is the "forever war" between Islam and all who are not Muslims. Jihad has existed since the time of Mohammed and will continue to a time when either Islam rules the Earth or has been destroyed.

2/3rds of all the Muslims on the Planet cannot read.. The want to Kill all westerners.. No need to read but skills wit ha GUN will be needed to stop these Animals ! ask Israel they deal with these scum Everyday !

It would be nice to be able to read they "playbook" the ko-ran, but in today's america if you pick that book up you will end up on an FBI/DHS/NSA watchlist... for starters! Every book you read at a library is recorded, the same if you check it out. Do it on the internet? Please, everyone knows EVERYTHING you do on the interwebs is recorded somewhere. About the only place I can think of that is not monitored very heavily is a flea-market, and even those are now crawling with under-cover cops of all levels at one time or another. We have become worse than nazi germany of 1939 because instead of burning books the PTB have strings attached to all information in all forms for the most part dormant, until needed.
